Gatvol of Covid-19 and everything with it?

GATVOL of COVID-19?

Starting to feel rebellious?

Face it – you can only take so much – the stress of ‘lockdown’ pushes us all to the limit.

Physical and mental stress can lead to burnout. That’s when you feel overwhelmed and emotionally drained – you just can’t meet the constant demands.

Becoming rebellious? Sure – you’re doing extra work at home and looking after everyone else (often without any support); but there’s no fun stuff like gym, the restaurant, cinema, having a drink with your friends.

And you need to respond to those never-ending e-mails – on the moment.

Or your spouse has gone back to work. Now you have your own work and all the home duties. You can’t leave your work ‘at the door’ – there’s no door! So you’re permanently ‘switched on’.

You’re missing your office colleagues (Zoom-sessions are too intense) and also the relaxed social time with your friends at the weekends – like simply hanging out.

Here’s how you can better manage to keep healthy and sane. Apart from sleeping, exercising, and eating right, and having a go-to relaxation technique.

Myth-busting the HPV vaccine

FACT: Around 11 000 South African women are diagnosed with cervical cancer, with 5 900 dying of the disease every year.
One of the main causes of cervical cancer is human papilloma virus (HPV). Despite the Department of Health’s vigorous campaign to immunise again the virus, myths and misunderstandings persist about the vaccine,  preventing many people from getting this life-saving protection.

Make 2026 your best year yet… Naturally

“New Year, new you” messages are everywhere right now, but putting too much pressure on yourself to stick to rigid resolutions and harsh self-criticism will set you up for failure.
